Mira Rajput shares that she tries a drumstick and masoor (red lentil) soup after being reminded of it by Smriti Irani. She says she met Irani on a flight, and the interaction led her to revisit a recipe Irani had previously discussed publicly. Rajput adds that she had long struggled with anemia and decided to consume the soup regularly for a period.

Both outlets describe the remedy as using ingredients commonly found in an Indian kitchen: drumsticks (moringa pods) and red lentils, prepared as a simple soup. Rajput says she noticed changes in her blood reports after taking it consistently for months. Times of India and Free Press Journal also note that anemia is widespread among women and that symptoms can be subtle, making the condition easy to overlook.

The coverage mainly differs in emphasis: Free Press Journal focuses more on Rajput’s personal account and her message encouraging followers to share the recipe, while Times of India adds general context about anemia’s prevalence and the importance of seeking medical advice. Neither source claims the soup is a substitute for medical treatment.
